Big Is Back! Volumizers We Love, Part II

BellaSugar — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 16:21:22 PDT

Remember yesterday I told you that I had three favorite volumizers? Well, after poking around a little bit more in the store, I realized there were still a few more to introduce you to. Big hair is really in for Spring and these trusty products help give your limp locks some life. Spray them directly at the roots of your hair followed by styling with a round brush (to create lift) and heat. Enjoy!

Jonathan Product® Create Root Volume™ Brushable Lifting Spray, $28, is what every Brigitte Bardot wanna be must buy! This volumizer will give you seriously sexy hair without a gross sticky feeling.

Since it is made from lemongrass water and plant botanicals, it smells light and citrusy, and it is also great for your hair. The formula includes: sweet almond protein, Pathenol Vitamin Complex and UV filters to protect your hair against sun damage and fading.

For two more volumizers,

Phytovolume Actif Maximizing Volume Spray for Fine Limp Hair, $24, is a keratin infused concentrated spritzer that contains that extra boost of protein to give your lackluster and limp hair a boost. Spray generously at the roots of your hair and style with heat as usual.

Alterna® - LIFE Volumizing Spray Gel for Fine and Thin Hair, $19, is a lightweight spray gel that helps control, hold and give your hair definition with move ability. It smells really good too since it's made from floral extracts. It's also formulated with silk amino acids (proteins) to strengthen hair and increase shine.

How to Get Zoe Saldana's Signature Shiny Waves

Zoe Saldana has some of the freshest hairstyles in Hollywood, along with perhaps the most on-point style sense around. But one particular look she's most known for is her signature, highly covetable waves. Zoe's hairstylist, Aviva, shares her tips on how to get Zoe-style curls just right:

For the recent opening of Michael Kors's new boutique in LA (as pictured above), Aviva began by prepping Zoe's hair with Moroccanoil Treatment. "I take the time to section her hair so that every strand is coated," Aviva explained.
Next, she blow-dried Zoe's hair using Phytovolume Voluminizing Spray and a Spornette mixed bristle brush, applying the product once again using a section-by-section technique.
She then wrapped one-inch portions of Zoe's hair around a three-fourth-inch curling iron, alternating the direction of the curl throughout. For the hairline, however, hair was directed away from the face.
After breaking up the curl with her fingers, Aviva finalized Zoe's style by spritzing on L'Oréal Elnett hair spray for texture, shine, and hold.

If you have shorter hair, then you'll know that it's easy to get stuck in a styling rut. Not if you're Evan Rachel Wood, however. At the LA premiere of Ides of March yesterday, Evan wore a waved coiffure that celebrity hairstylist Marcus Francis described as a balance of feminine and masculine, or "androgynous sexy elegance" in his exact words. "The clean silhouette of her white suit inspired me to keep the look strong yet sexy," Francis explained. "It was the glam-rock eye that added to my vision of a new take on a classic: combed-out finger wave with a David Bowie twist." So to see how to get the edgy-chic style, just keep reading.
